Messenger for fire brigades

Challenges in fire and rescue communication

When responding to a house fire, a traffic accident, or a major storm, every second can make the difference. Yet communication channels are often overloaded or fragmented. Radio frequencies are limited, feedback gets lost, and not everyone is reachable at all times. Many fire departments still rely on insecure consumer apps like WhatsApp – putting sensitive data and mission safety at risk. As a result, conventional communication systems quickly reach their limits.

No central coordination
Radio is essential, but it stops short of sharing images, videos, plans, or live locations.
No centralized coordination
Volunteer and professional fire departments often use different systems, causing delays and confusion.
Critical messages don’t reach everyone
Without broadcast or group functions, important instructions can be missed or seen too late.
Growing crises and IT outages
Power or server failures can disrupt communication without a reliable fallback channel.
Shadow IT risks
Many responders still use consumer messengers out of habit – creating serious compliance and security vulnerabilities.
